CAUTION: FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Maintain clearance to combustible constructions as further specified in this manual. Failure to do so

could result in a serious fire hazard. Heaters should not be located in hazardous atmospheres

containing flammable vapors or combustible dusts. Signs should be provided in storage areas

specifying maximum safe stacking height.

CAUTION: MECHANICAL HAZARD

This heater is designed and approved for indoor use only.

CAUTION: FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

This heater is equipped with an automatic ignition device. Do not attempt to light the burner by hand.

Failure to comply could result in a serious fire and personal injury hazard.

CAUTION: MECHANICAL HAZARD

Do not use high pressure (above 60 mbar) to test the gas supply system with the burners connected.

Failure to do so could result in damage to the burner and its control components requiring replacement.

CAUTION: SERVICE LIFE RISK

Do not install heater in atmospheres containing halogenated hydrocarbons or other corrosive

chemicals. High intensity heaters are not recommended for installation in enclosed swimming pool

areas. Failure to do so may lead to premature heater failure and will invalidate the warranty.

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES

The stated clearance to combustibles represents a surface temperature of 90°F (50°C) above room temperature.

Building materials with low heat tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl siding, canvas, tri-ply, etc…) maybe subject

to degradation at lower temperatures. It is the installer’s responsibility to assure that adjacent materials are

protected from degradation. A general clearance of 500 mm (20”) in every direction is recommended for

servicing. In addition to this, it is very important to observe the minimum clearances to combustibles at all times to

avoid any possibility of property damage or personal injury.

WARNING

・ Clearances as marked on the heater body must be maintained from vehicles parked beneath. Signs should be

posted identifying any possible violation of the clearance distances from the heater in all vehicle areas.

・ Maximum allowable stacking height in storage areas should be identified with signs or appropriate markings

adjacent to the thermostat or in a conspicuous location.

・ Clearances to combustibles DO NOT indicate acceptable distances from PVC paneling. Refer to panel

manufacturers recommendations.

Combustible materials are considered to be wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, plastics, Plexiglas, or other

materials capable of being ignited and burned. Such materials shall be considered combustible even though flame-

proofed, fire-retardant treated, or plastered.

Adequate clearance to sprinkler heads must be maintained.

LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS

Layout Considerations

1. Because high intensity heaters are un-vented, verify local codes for guidance on air supply and dilution air.

Also see section on Ventilation.

2. Check local codes for mounting requirements and the requirement for flexible gas connectors or rigid

mounting.

3. Do not locate heaters near windy locations such as door openings.

4. Do not locate heaters in very dusty environments.

5. Avoid placing heaters below sprinkler heads or provide more than adequate clearance.

Spot Heating

High intensity heaters are ideal for spot heating applications. The following are key considerations to the

success of the application:

1. Minimize any wind in order to maximize the effect of the radiant heat.

2. Placing two smaller heaters opposing each other will be more comfortable than placing one large

heater.

3. Hang the heaters back and at an oblique angle (rather than directly overhead) in order to maximize the

exposure of the peoples’ bodies to radiant heat.

The following charts are intended for guidance only. Specific applications may require other parameters.

INSTALLATION

Heater Mounting

Figure 3 illustrates typical rigid and chain mounting configurations for the Series S heaters; verify which is

permissible by local codes.

Heaters must be hung at an angle between 10° and 35°. Typically, at the walls they are at 35° facing into the

building. The gas manifold must always be at the lower side of the heater.

Minimum 3/16" (5mm) diameter S hooks and No. 1/0 chain (200 lb./ 91 kg working load) is recommended.

Close S hooks after installation.

Never use a gas line as a hanging support and never locate gas or electric lines over the heaters.

Maintain clearance to combustibles.

Ensure that there is a plugged tap upstream of the heater or a fitting on the valve itself to verify incoming

pipeline pressure.

Do not leave the heater connected when pressure testing the pipeline. The high pressure will damage the

heater.
